Question

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement?

"The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path."

first law
second law
third law

Answer 1

i know that its not the second law. I'm almost positive its the first one. Please let me know if I'm wrong. This sentence makes no sense when you put it with the third law. So, the first law is my guess...

Answer 2

Answer:

First law

Explanation:

The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path. This is due to first law of motion. The first law states that an object will be at rest and an object will be in motion until no external force acts on it.

It is possible due to sun's gravity pull that the planets move in a circular path. Without sun's gravity the planet would move in a straight line. Hence, the correct option is (a) " first law of motion".
